Jamie Carragher says Liverpool will win the Premier League with just one Manchester City player in the squad. The champions closed Jurgen Klopp’s gap at the table to two points after beating Brentford 3-1 last night. Phil Foden scored a hat-trick, with his team-mate Kevin De Bruyne the only standout.
This is the biggest ‘difference’ score for Pep Guardiola’s side.The Belgian has scored one goal and provided three assists in three top-flight appearances since returning from a five-month injury layoff in January. He recently registered a total of 105 assists, making him the third-highest assist provider in Premier League history.
Carragher said of the 32-year-old on Sky Sports Monday Night Football: “He’s been the best player in the Premier League for the last four or five years. I think it’s really special considering how many times Manchester City have beaten Liverpool in terms of league wins. “If you put him in a Liverpool shirt, Liverpool will win the league.
I think he is dominant. Kevin De Bruyne will go down in history as the greatest Premier League player of all time. He plays in the Premier League XI of all time. “When we think of the best foreign players to have played in the Premier League, we always use the same names – it goes back to Cantona, Zola and Bergkamp.
These three are legends of the Premier League and their respective clubs. “He’s better than the three of them,” he said.It’s hard not to think about how De Bruyne can open up opposition defenses with his unrivaled passing range for Jurgen Klopp’s outstanding Liverpool in recent years. Unfortunately, City may not have achieved the same success without him as he has been a standout in City’s excellent squad since arriving at the Etihad Stadium in 2015.
